(10) Except as permitted by Sentence (11), a manually operated silencing device shall be incorporated within the circuitry of a smoke alarm installed in a dwelling unit so that it will silence the signal emitted by the smoke alarm for a period of not more than 10 min, after which the smoke alarm will reset and again sound the alarm if the level of smoke in the vicinity is sufficient to reactuate the smoke alarm. (11) Suites of residential occupancy equipped with smoke detectors installed in conformance with CAN/ULC-S524, Installation of Fire Alarm Systems, as part of the fire alarm system in lieu of smoke alarms as permitted by Sentence (6), need not incorporate the manually operated silencing device required by Sentence (10).

(13) Smoke alarms required by Sentence (1) shall have a visual signalling component conforming to the requirements in (Light, Color and Pulse Characteristics) of NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code. (See Appendix A.) (14) The visual signalling component required by Sentence (13) need not, (a) be integrated with the smoke alarm provided it is interconnected to it, (b) be on battery backup, or (c) have synchronized flash rates, when installed in a dwelling unit. (15) The luminous intensity for visual signalling components required by Sentence (13) that are installed in sleeping rooms shall be a minimum of 175 cd Voice Communication Systems PROPOSED CODE CHANGE Revise existing Article and add new Article as follows: Smoke Alarms (1) Except as provided in Article smoke alarms shall be installed in accordance with this Article.

4 Residential Fire Warning Systems (1) Except where a fire alarm system is installed or required in a building, smoke detectors forming part of a residential fire warning system installed in conformance with CAN/ULC-S540 Residential Fire Warning Systems: Installation, Inspection, Testing and Maintenance, are permitted to be installed in lieu of all smoke alarms required by Article , provided that the system (a) is capable of sounding audible signals in accordance with Articles and , (b) is provided with a visual signalling component in accordance with Article , (c) is powered in accordance with Article , and (d) is provided with a silencing device in accordance with Article Voice Communication Systems RATIONALE FOR CHANGE Problem/General Background The building official community has requested the use of residential fire warning systems in lieu of the currently required interconnected smoke alarms. The ULC Committee on Fire Alarm and Life Safety Equipment and Systems updated CAN/ULC-S540, Residential Fire Warning Systems: Installation, Inspection, Testing and Maintenance in fall of This standard provides the minimum requirements for the design, installation, inspection, testing and maintenance of residential fire warning systems for use in suites of residential occupancy, dwelling units and care occupancy. Justification/Explanation This proposed change would harmonize requirements with the model National Building Code of Canada. Interconnected smoke alarms and residential fire warning systems will provide detection and audible signals to alert the occupants of an emergency situation. Allowing the option of a residential fire warning system, will enhance the level of life safety provided to the occupants. Additionally, this allows for the interconnection of heat detectors, CO alarms, other life safety devices and remote monitoring capabilities. This will also allow for the supervision of the interconnected devices. Cost/Benefit Implications Since this requirement will be optional, the costs will be minimal and will vary depending on the option chosen. Enforcement Implications This requirement will facilitate enforcement actions by having the reference to a National Standard. Who is Affected Designers, building officials.
